Dose-volume parameters and clinical outcome of CT-guided free-hand high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for cervical cancer
Currently, image-based 3-dimentional (3D) planning brachytherapy allows for a better assessment of gross tumor volume (GTV) and the definition and delineation of target volume in cervix cancer. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of our novel computed tomography (CT)-guided free-hand high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDRISBT) technique for cervical cancer by evaluating the d...
متن کاملVaginal tolerance of CT based image-guided high-dose rate interstitial brachytherapy for gynecological malignancies
BACKGROUND Purpose of this study was to identify predictors of vaginal ulcer after CT based three-dimensional image-guided high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDR-ISBT) for gynecologic malignancies. METHODS Records were reviewed for 44 female (14 with primary disease and 30 with recurrence) with gynecological malignancies treated with HDR-ISBT with or without external beam radiation th...

(2013) 5(4), 383–388 Over the past two decades, several methods for minimally invasive tumor ablation have been developed and tested clinically. CT-guided high dose rate brachytherapy is an alternative radioablative technique that was introduced in clinical practice as a minimally treatment option almost 20 years ago w...
متن کاملClinical outcome of high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy in patients with oral cavity cancer
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcome of high-dose-rate (HDR) interstitial brachytherapy (IBT) in patients with oral cavity cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen patients with oral cavity cancer treated with HDR remote-control afterloading brachytherapy using (192)Ir between 2001 and 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Brachytherapy was administered in 11 patients as the primary treatment ...
متن کامل”Maximum dose” points in cervical and endometrial cancer medium dose rate brachytherapy
Background: Best dose distribution in target volume and control of Organ at Risk (OAR) dose are the two main goals in brachytherapy. Materials and Methods: In this study in vivo dosimetry in 4 rectal points was performed by Transillumination Dosimeter (TLD) s and the measured doses were compared in different patients. One point was reported to have the maximum dose in each patient and the very ...
